this study was carried out in sorkhdeh rangeland in semnan province in order to determine the ecological species groups and their relationships with environmental factors as a tool for better management. vegetation sampling was performed in 230 plots under equal random classification method and soil samples were taken in 0-15 depth. climatic and topographic data were extracted by overlaying sam...

www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America E problems are intensifying and threatening biodiversity and sustainability worldwide. Scientific understanding is a necessary step toward addressing these problems, but natural science alone is insufficient for achieving desired outcomes that benefit humans and the environment. Human behavior strongly influences ecological and soci...

Ecological stoichiometry has generated new insights into how the balance of elements affects ecological interactions and ecosystem processes, but little is known about the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of stoichiometric traits. Understanding the origins and drivers of stoichiometric trait variation between and within species will improve our understanding about the ecological responses o...

the remarkable development of sciences and technologies in the world of]o today has apparently brought mankind comfort and well-being, but it has also created new problems for humans including environmental pollution, widespread changes in world weather conditions, etc. fossil fuels cause numerous environmental pollutions. in other words, on the one hand poisonous gases enter the environment fo...

Employees are an essential factor achieving competitive advantage Advancement technology has left a paltry room maneuver quest differentiate products or services hence focus on people based strategies.

The paper focuses on two large application areas of the Fuzzy Set Theory in ecological research, namely data analysis (in particular fuzzy cluster analysis and fuzzy kriging) and ecological modelling. Environmental data or classes of ecological objects can be defined as fuzzy sets with not sharply defined boundaries, that reflects better the continuous character of nature. Fuzzy sets are used t...

Cultural eutrophication in estuaries and other coastal systems has increased over the last 50 yr. Some recently proposed strategies to reverse this trend have included the restoration of bivalve suspension feeders as an ecological tool for reducing phytoplankton biomass. The ecological benefits accruing from such bivalve restoration will be dependent on the characteristics of the estuary, as we...
